Wheel figment question

Hi all….anybody have any experience with a rear wheel that is 19x10.5 et32? Seems like it would poke a little to much but thought I would ask. Thanks for any input.

I have 19 x 9.5 et 42 with 295/30/19 (et adjusted with 10 mm spacer)

Pushing out another 10 mm ( et 32) would definitely poke it out by at least 5 mm not to mention you would have to go down to either 285 or 275

Once these tires wear out, I plan on putting on 305/30

Hope this helps

Thanks…I have 18x9.5 et35 now but saw some great wheels. 10.5 did seem a little big.

What size wheels/tires (F/B) and Offsets are you currently running and are you running any spacers?

I have 18x8.5 et35 with 15mm bolt on spacers with 245/4018 and 18x9.5 et35 no spacers with 275/35/18

the new wheels were 19x8.5 et20 and 19x10.5 et32

Thanks
Bob

do you not rub on the front especially the outer liner?
Care to share any pictures?

Just realized, I have 19" so that's why I would rub.
What's the story with the bolt on spacers, what kind are they and do you not get any vibrations?
I have a 7 mm spacers and I am battling a vibration issue and I think it might be the spacers and I can't take spacers off as it rubs on the inside without them

I bought the bolt on adapters because “technically” Pennsylvania doesn’t allow spacers at the inspection. So I bought 5x112 to 5x112 adapters. They work great tight fit on the center bore…bolted on and then uses bolts on the hub centric adapter. No vibration. A little expensive ($200) but with it. 15mm is hard to find and I don’t remember who sold them. Took 2 weeks but the are very nice. It gave a perfect et20 for the extra .5 inch wheel. Just barely stays inside the fender.

I would love to see the pictures of those spacers, could save me some big bucks purchasing the new set of wheels. Any idea where you purchased them at ?
Did your adapters worked with the grease caps?
Thanks
